I think there's a whole lot more to this than fish size and color over 1 year's time.
How about fish longevity, liver function, overall health long-term, effects of feed on water quality, etc..????
Not to be a party pooper but I feel the end goals are far more complex than what meets the eye.
You're right, Snipe. I am taking a shortcut due to lack of time & money to really do this properly, hence the "sloppy test". May prove absolutely nothing, but should be interesting anyhow.
I didn't mean to deter you from trying this.. I had my own intent of what I would expect while typing that out.
There's always something to learn on anything we do and yes, it'll be interesting.
My thought was if one feed grows fish to 12" in one year, the other grows them to 10", etc., my question would be will fish 1 die in 3 yrs and fish 2 lives 7 and grows twice the size??
We don't know unless we try different things so continue on!
My foot fits quite well in my mouth. :-))
